About me

I am an AI Researcher at Foundation Inc. I am working on World Models and Imitation Learning for Humanoid Robots. Prior to this, I received my PhD in Robotics from the Mechanical Engineering department at Virginia Tech. I was advised by Prof. Dylan Losey, and I was part of Collab.

Before joining Virginia Tech, I was employed as a Robotics Engineer at Parker Hannifin Corporation, and previous to that I received my MS in Robotics Engineering from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), MA.
